Brilliant experience especially for kids but be mindful it’s very busy and always pre buy tickets as it gets sold out but my daughter loved it.
Summit was great for my children and I.

Our experience was amazing. My daughter and my First time in New York and experience was amazing.. we had VIP service., No waiting in the line, the staff were so amazing. There was this one woman I forgot her name short very pretty young. She provided such a wonderful welcoming. She took us all the way through to the elevator entrance and left us in great hands.

No sitting before entrance so if you walked there your feet will be tired. You are allowed 30 min early entrance.
Great experience at the SUMMIT @42 St G/C
Sherifah_W, Dec 2024
There were at least 3 floors and all are different scenery experience on each level. You gotta go there, I went 10 pm and the night view of the City lights, landmarks is to talk about very beautiful, not to mention the first level where you first enter. You have to experience it for yourself.
On top of the world

Disappointing
Carol_P, Nov 2024
The views were amazing, the staff were not. Rushing people through, on their phones, chatting and laughing with each other.
Very disappointing and a waste of time and money.
Good experience
